Just cooking #ChickenCurry and rice as my mate is popping round for dinner and the house smells properly Indian like when I was a little kid.

Smell memory is a #Tardis :ablobmeltsoblove:

Just a reminder that the UK government deliberately targeted #SouthAsian women and fed them radioactive chapatis without informed consent: https://twitter.com/louiserawauthor/status/1062843586650259456?lang=en

The daughter of one of the women describes her mother "withering away."

Some of us have *never* been represented in popular art, graphics and design in the West.

I want to see visions of #SouthAsians on Mars, in futuristic versions of our cities, or just plain existing!

I want to dream a future where we aren't fucking invisible.

We've been whitewashed out of mainstream Western culture. I'm going to use #AIGeneratedArt to fight that imbalance.

Here's my #AI-generated visions of #SouthAsian #Marvel #Superheroes

My prompt: "Marvel Avengers but they are all South Asian people --ar 3:2"

I feel there's a whole world of stories here that a 7yo me would have absolutely loved. They could have fought the fascists firebombing us out of our homes in the '70s. Maybe I wouldn't have wanted a white, "normal" name if I'd seen more names like mine?

A #SouthAsian #CaptainBritain battling the National Front?

#SouthAsianDiaspora

I'm currently using #Midjourney to generate #SouthAsian versions of #MarvelAvengers and it's making me weirdly emotional.

As a little kid, #MarvelComics were an escape from my daily racist bullying at the hands of white teachers and schoolmates.

The images I'm generating now... I wish I could have seen #Indian #superheroes like this back in 1971.

It would have made a huge difference to me.

"'There are so many Buddhists, Muslims, friends who I have who are non-Christians. They love the Christmas cake, and they wait for a piece of Christmas cake,' Fernando said. She recalls them asking, “Where is my share? Did you keep me a piece?'"

@anirvan Looking for more Brown / #SouthAsian content in my timeline.

A hashtag would definitely help.

Possibilities:
#SouthAsian
#SouthAsianDiaspora
#BrownMastodon

Maybe we need a #BrownMastodonIntro?

Awhhh, mate! *hugs*

Thank you!

One day I'll write about South Asians in alternative music and set the record straight, from The Monochrome Set, through Babylon Zoo and Cornershop, Sum41, Future Pilot AKA, Billy Talent, Goldspot, MIA..

There are a lot of us but no historical appraisal.

Maybe we'll have to do it ourselves? 😄
